1. Mark Amerika / USA:         Hypertextual Consciousness
2. Mervin Jarman / UK:        British Airport Authorities
3. Eva Wohlgemuth / Austria:     personal information 1_0
_________________________________________________________

Mark Amerika's,  "Hypertextual  Consciousness"  depicts a
near-future world where stories are no  longer  conceived
for book production  but  are  instead created for a more
immersive networked-narrative environment.

Mervin  Jarman's,  "BAA"   mimics   a  corporate  website
utilising HTML forms and feedback techniques to highlight
and criticise prejudice built into immigration procedures
encountered on entering the United Kingdom.

Eva  Wohlgemuths,  "Personal  information  1_0"  is based
arounda 3D scan of her body  incorporating 'real'  points
(seven  existing  tattoos)  as  nodes  acting as links to
various personal stories and anecdotal commentaries.

dfi  is  dedicated  to  supporting artists  and  curators
seeking to site work specifically and exclusively on-line.
The site will change on a quarterly basis with a lifespan
of two years ending March 1st 2001.  dfi is funded by the
University  of  Westminster and  is coordinated by Alison
Craighead.  Alison  Craighead  is  a  researcher  at  the
University  also  working  as  an artist in collaboration
with Jon Thomson. The  dfi site  structure is the  design
work of avco productions Ltd.
